2009: Lost Memories
The war has begun!
Directed by Lee Si-myung
Produced by Indecom Cinema, Tube Entertainment
A tense alternate-history thriller that uses a counterfactual Korea under Japanese rule to explore themes of resistance, identity, and the weight of historical contingency.
There are breakpoints in the history, the result of a single event may change the whole course. In 1909, an assassination attempt of a Japanese governor fails. Now, in 2009, Korea is just another state of Japan's Empire & Seoul has become a major city. A Korean resistance group fights for liberty, independence & the restoration of true history. Two cops, Japanese & Korean, investigate the group.
